This tutorial outlines a method to streamline the deployment process by creating a "ship it" button using an AWS IoT Dash button and integrating it with GitHub and AWS Lambda. It details the necessary prerequisites, including an AWS account, a GitHub account, Node.js, and a GitHub API access token. The guide explains how to use Node.js and the Octokit library to interact with the GitHub API for creating releases and deployments. It also covers setting up an AWS Lambda function to trigger these actions when the button is pressed. Additionally, the tutorial suggests integrating this setup into existing workflows to automate deployment processes, offering insights into further customization and the use of third-party tools like Probot for handling deployment events and statuses.
